Here's what Temple Bar looks like today

'Avoid Temple Bar' is advice often given to tourists for St Patrick's Day, as the pub hub of the capital is overrun by tourists, heavy drinkers, and green hat salespeople.

Well, thanks to the magic of the internet, we can all see just how right we are to avoid it.

Now remember, that's just one street corner, down the road from the main square at 4pm. Bonus points if you can find Wally in his green-and-white stripes.

The webcam is set up opposite The Temple Bar pub, and you can watch it live here.

Spare a thought, though, for the driver of this security van who thought he'd take a shortcut. He's probably made it as far as the Ha'penny Bridge by now.

Better them than us.
